Since its launch, the Rails framework has evolved with the support of many contributors and many supporting gems. This leads to an interesting question: What core parts of #Rails still remain after 20 years? What makes Rails Rails? In his #RailsWorld talk, Masafumi Okura dives into the source code of Rails 1.0 to explore Rails from an anthropological perspective. https://lnkd.in/eyyUvvW6

In the next episode of 'On Rails', Nadia Odunayo founder and solo developer of The StoryGraph, joins Robby Russell to discuss what it really takes to build and maintain a #Rails app (web and mobile) used by over four million readers, how she leaned on Turbo Native to power cross-platform mobile clients, and the tricky challenges she faced with in-app purchases and syncing customer data between systems. They also explore what it means to be a solo developer by choice, the value of the Rails community, and why Ruby on Rails continues to be the framework that powers her entire business.

21 years ago today, after months of work, David Heinemeier Hansson released Rails v0.5.0 to the world with the note: “this piece will grow in public.” He wasn’t wrong. Since then, Rails has powered countless companies, grew with the support of thousands of contributors, and has kept true to its core promise made that day: "Everything needed to build real-world applications in less lines of code than other frameworks spend setting up their XML configuration files." https://lnkd.in/eP4Gg_uv

Prompting an LLM is easy, but building a Rails app that reliably integrates one is a different story. In her #RailsWorld talk, GitHub engineer Kinsey Durham Grace dives beyond prompt hacking to unpack what it really takes to bring LLM-powered features into real-world Rails apps: model orchestration, prompt versioning, skill design, background jobs, APIs, and keeping everything observable, testable, and maintainable. Walk away with Rails-specific architectural strategies to build LLM features correctly. https://lnkd.in/eEu94JEm
